Teeth whitening with strawberries!
If you research the internet you may be surprised at the number of home remedies for teeth whitening. You’ve probably heard about these teeth whitening methods long time ago, either on TV or even from your own mother. And most of the times, the secret associated with these methods is some kind of fruit! That’s because these fruits contain acids that oxidize the yellow stains from your teeth.
One of those famous fruits is strawberry. A lot of people say that strawberry is the best natural teeth whitener of all. The method is not complex at all: just rub a few strawberries against your teeth and the results are immediate.
Some people also like to mix the strawberry acid with other substances in order to improve the effects. Some of these substances are regular toothpastes and baking soda. Baking soda also works well as teeth whitening agent. If you can’t find any strawberries you can also try orange peel. Once again, all you have to do is rub the orange peel against your teeth.
Another good working method is water mixed with rock salt. Try gargling this mixture for a few weeks and you will see goods results, but not as immediate as fruit acids. By the way, do not use lemon peel or juice. It will damage your teeth enamel.

Teeth whitening is one of the most successful and harmless procedures to whiten your teeth. However, specific actions are to be maintained and preventive measures must be taken to avoid any accident.
Below you will find a list of preventive measures that should be taken in consideration by everyone before deciding to go forward with teeth whitening treatments.
- Teeth Whitening is not designed for everyone. Children must be safe from whitening their teeth. Their teeth are simply too sensitive and using any whitening products at very tender age is very dangerous.
- The whitening trays must fit in precisely. They are made to protect your gums and mouth by avoiding any escape of irritating substances. The amount of gel used in the trays shouldn’t be excessive. Make sure it will not cover your gums. Always wash your mouth after every teeth whitening treatment.
- Check the concentrations of peroxide solutions on the gel. If you’re using carbamide peroxide, then it should not be more than 22% and if you’re using hydrogen peroxide, then 6.6% is the maximum. If these numbers are exceeded you might experience extra teeth sensitivity.
- Do not go through this procedure (teeth whitening) more than once a year.
- Due to hormonal reasons, teeth whitening is not advised to pregnant women. We are not sure about the implications in these delicate cases.
- In the presence of other dental health problems, such as cavities, fractures etc; other dentistry treatments should be carried out before whitening teeth.
- Teeth whitening will not have any effect on white filling or artificial teeth.
- If you are experiencing sensitivity problems to hot or cold drinks/foods, you should avoid teeth whitening, and start using toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
